BassHunter2k6 Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 Hey guys, I got a quick question...I was making some 1 oz jigs last night and had problems putting on the skirts. The jig has two notches so you can attatch a rattle as well. It was very difficult to get the skirt up on the jig. Once I got the skirt where I wanted it, some of the pieces of the skirt were a little messed up from the pressure I was putting on it to slide it onto the jig. Is there an easier way to do this...or are there bigger skirts for a jig this size? Thanks!! Quote
Biscuit Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 I assemble my own skirts using a pair of needle nose plies and a small amount of Vaseline. If you buy your skirts already assembled, just wet the jig (saliva) or very lightly coat the jig with Vaseline, then slid the skirt on. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 I'm going to guess you have a poison jig mold. It is a pain for sure. I do the same as Crackerjack just a dab of vasaline or saliva will fix you up. Quote
BassHunter2k6 Posted May 25, 2006 Author Posted May 25, 2006 Yeah, you are right on the mold. It is the poison mold that I have. I supposed you could probably file down the ridges a little on the jighead as well, and it may slide on better. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 I figured so, I have the same one and noticed the same thing. That extra collar is where I put the rattles. Works out greate. Quote
jbass Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 I believe there is a tool you can buy to help with the skirts. Quote
